[yocto] Problems with the ADT installation

[Dusty Clark]

Reading the Quick Start and ADT manuals, it was recommended to use the ADT
installer script as the easiest method to get the tools and the Eclipse
plugin in place. I'm running a Fedora 17 VM as the development host, and
would like to target Beaglebone and vanilla x86 devices using Eclipse.
However, I ran into some issues:

First, the prerequisites lists a package "eglibc-devel" that does not seem
to exist as a yum package, although it looks like the poky tarball has it
inside -- so it should be built from the source tarball during installation
of poky -- e.g. NOT using the ADT installation? The ADT guide warns against
mixing installation methods, building ADT from poky vs. the ADT installer,
etc. So, what is the recommended method for having this prerequisite
library for Yocto?

Second, the ADT installer script is pointing to 404s when getting packages:
the YOCTOADT_REPO variable is pointing to a repo at
http://adtrepo-dev.yoctoproject.org//$VERSION that doesn't exist. I edited
adt_installer.conf to point to what I thought was the appropriate master as
/1.4+snapshot-$hash-master, but the install script failed with a message
about wget trying to get the opkg portion of the repo. There appears to be
no opkg folder at all to be found there...so is the ADT installer now
deprecated and one should just install poky and build the ADT stuff from
there on?

Thanks for any help!
